Tileira:
I had a thread like this a little while ago called "How Not to Advertise".
Cool I'll look that up.
I understand that I tend to run games that have a lot of existing cannon and that is a hurtle. And I've sort of been on a 'build your own adventure' kick because I find that fun and I hope a few others do too.
People brought up someof my personnal turn off's as well.
"First Come First Serve" makes me think that the DM doesn't care about the game enough to sift RTJ's or at least doesn't care enough to care much about his players. Kind of makes me think he's an idiot too.
I try to at least pop my posts into Word to geet a quick spelling and grammar check. If you can't at least give that much effort to the public face of your game I'll probably pass.
I know what the biggest turn-on to a game is. Type Exalted or Dresden Files into the system box. Or D&D with Homebrew allowed. Some systems are just in demand if you simply want attention.
Single digit post counts don't bother me too much that is usually you got your game set up and then decided not to run it, sad but it happens. Most games that got a party and then never start seem to sit around the low hundreds. From my experience at least. I wonder if we could get the Admins to releast a report on that for us.
